TL;DR: By infusing a ferrofluid into a microstructured matrix and applying a magnetic field, dynamic, multiscale topographical reconfigurations emerge, enabling functions such as colloidal self-assembly, switchable adhesion and friction, and biofilm removal.

TL;DR: In this article, a phase field model for studying two-phase electro-hydrodynamic flow generated by an electric field was proposed, which is validated and found to be in good agreement with existing analytical solutions and numerical studies in the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, a phenomenological description of droplet dynamics in a bifurcating channel is presented based on three-dimensional numerical experiments using the Phase Field theory, and the Rayleigh-Plateau instability is identified as a driving mechanism for the droplet breakup close to the threshold between the splitting and non-splitting regime.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the dynamics of a pendant water drop in air that contacts a substrate coated by thin oil films and measure the waiting time for the rupture as a function of the drop equilibrium contact angle on a dry substrate and the initial film height.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present simulations of dynamic wetting far from equilibrium based on phase field theory, which is similar to the one we present in this paper. But their simulations are based on direct simulations of recent experiments.
